The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[Persia (DoC)]

I have not traded paper to Britannia.
I think it was philosophy.

[OzzyKP]

It was paper. I offered paper to them the same turn (and they needed it) but your popup came first. So they got it from you (I don't know what you got from them), and afterwards they couldn't do a trade with me since they no longer needed paper.

[Persia (DoC)]

Hmmm, maybe it then was paper, but I don't remember knowing it could be traded. It's also possible of course that they learned paper that turn themselves.

but this is not about paper, it's about banking

[OzzyKP]

They told me they got it from you. Trickster!

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Just goes to show that the current system isn't working if people don't even know what trades they have made

We traded paper for banking. You trade screen came up before Rome's did.

[Persia (DoC)]

That was someone else tradescreen.

I discovered banking myself. It was the score jump I got last turn I got at the beginning of that turn.

Oh yeah and i guess your score jumped up right after i got on for no reason then.

[Persia (DoC)]

Why ???

[Persia (DoC)]

O got something from you, but not banking.
I got literature or drama from you.

[Orb (DoC)]

Nope sorry it was banking. The sooner you accept it the better you'll feel.

[Korea (DoC)]

so the big boys have spoken how bout the smaller ones..

greece etc.. what do they think

I still feel quite sdtrongly that the larger civs should not gain any free techs, cut out the top 5 players from the free trade. all others can freely trade.

If the top 5 continue to pick up freebies as well as the smaller ones then this is not a blaancing act to help the smaller civs but simpy la way of the bigger civs to keep their advantage whilst skippin certain techs along the way.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I share the aspiration Korea, the free trade techs are to help the less advanced nations. But we have to have rules which work easily and fairly. You say no free trade for the top 5 - but why not the top 4, or top 6? What if I am number 5 when the age changes but then someone else gets one more score than me for one turn - can I think get the free trade? And score is a poor measure of how well nations are doing - draft a few units, drop to number 6, then cash in on the free trade.

The main thing is to get the uplift of multiple, mainstream, techs to the less advanced nations (guilds, banking, paper etc.). If India picking up theology is the price we pay for having clear and easy system, who cares?
